GoldStar FC-200 MSX - Computer

Nice Goldstar MSX, works fine; all keys respond and it starts up nicely.
Neat MSX, packed carefully!

The FC-200 is a MSX 1 home computer from 1984, produced by LG in South Korea and compliant with the MSX computer standard. The model was marketed under the brand name LG Goldstar.

All computer electronics are housed in a single-piece computer case with an integrated keyboard. The keyboard includes a separate block of cursor keys. The following color combinations of the case are known:

- a black case with a white keyboard and cursor keys and dark gray function keys.
- a charcoal gray case with a light gray accent on the top beside the cartridge slot, with a white keyboard except for the dark gray function keys, red STOP key, green GRAPH and CODE keys, and blue cursor keys.

The computer has only one cartridge slot on the upper right side, with a cutout for a light pen next to it and does not have an integrated disk drive. The connections for joysticks and data recorder are on the right side of the case, with the remaining connectors on the rear of the device.
